Food for thought…Expect even more

You know what you’ve achieved in the past. Now, you can build on that experience and do more.

You’re familiar with the mistakes you’ve made. Now, you can learn from those mistakes and avoid repeating them.

You know what has worked well before. Build on that knowledge, expand it, apply it in new areas where it can create even more value.

The possibilities for achievement have grown more numerous since you last considered them. Consider that you can now achieve, and get to work on it.

Remind yourself how great it feels to break new ground, to get good things done. Expect to feel that way again, then do the work to make it happen.

You’ve made much progress, and now you can make more. You’ve met many previous expectations so now, take the opportunity to expect even more.

Recipe to Try…

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Generously coat a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray.

2. Mix crab, breadcrumbs, bell pepper, scallions, mayonnaise, eggs, egg white, hot sauce, celery salt and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups. Bake until crispy and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate fro up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or serve cold.

Tip: To make fresh breadcrumbs: Trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until a coarse crumb forms. One slice of bread makes about 1/3 cup crumbs.

Ingredients 1 pound crabmeat 2 cups fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs 1/2 red bell pepper, minced 3 scallions, sliced 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise 2 large eggs 1 large egg white 10 dashed hot sauce, such as Tabasco 1/2 teaspoon celery salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 6 lemon wedges, for garnish

Happy Birthday to all who were born in the month of July!

Are You Prepared for the Summer Heat?

by Kim Hayes, AARP

The heat is on. Make sure you know how to cool off.

Although June 21 is the official first day of summer, temperatures have been rising around many areas of the country for weeks now. A record-setting heat wave in Arizona, California and Nevada even grounded airplanes in the region, and several weather-related deaths have already been reported.

Heat is the number one cause of weather-related direct fatalities, according to the National Weather Ser-vice, and more than 600 people die from complications related to extreme heat every year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports. People over the age of 65, those living alone and people with chronic medical conditions are particularly at risk.

Heat exhaustion vs. heatstroke

Heat exhaustion, which occurs when the body overheats, is the precursor to heatstroke. Symptoms in-clude muscle cramps, headaches, and nausea or vomiting. When heat exhaustion is not treated, the person becomes at risk for heatstroke, which, without emergency assistance, can lead to death.

You are in heatstroke if your body temp rises to 104 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, which can cause damage to the brain, heart, kidneys and muscles. Symptoms include altered mental state and behavior, nausea and vomiting, flushed skin, rapid breathing and racing heart rate, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Elevated risk factors

People with chronic medical conditions are at elevated risk for heat exhaustion, according to the CDC. They may be less likely to sense and respond to changes in temperature and could be taking medications that worsen the impact of extreme heat.

Outdoor workers or those in high-temperature indoor areas are also at increased risk. These in-clude firefighters, bakery workers, farmers, construction workers, miners, boiler room workers and factory workers. At even greater risk are workers who are 65 or older, are overweight, have heart disease or high blood pressure, or take certain medications, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

Preventive steps to take

The CDC has a website with specific tips for people 65 and over on dealing with the heat. Here are some of the agency's recommendations.

Don’t rely solely on a fan to keep you cool during a heat wave, and stay in air-conditioned buildings as much as possible. (Contact your local health department or locate an air-conditioned shelter in your ar-ea.)

Drink more water than usual, and don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink. Check on friends and neighbors during heat waves, and have someone do the same for you. Don’t use the stove or oven to cook — it will make you and your house hotter. Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Take cool showers or baths. Check the local news for health and safety updates. Seek medical care immediately if you or someone you are caring for has symptoms of heat-related illness.
